Givaudan Active Beauty presents PrimalHyal NeuroYouth, an innovative complex targeting neuro-aging skin, promising measurable anti-aging benefits.

Givaudan Active Beauty unveils PrimalHyal NeuroYouth, an innovative complex based on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and amino acids. This product is designed to address a new skin ageing pathway recently identified by Givaudan Active Beauty, referred to as «skin ageing".« neurocutaneous aging ». PrimalHyal NeuroYouth restores nerve fiber function and neuronal communication, opening up a new frontier in skin health and ageing well, where sensory perception becomes a new dimension of skin youthfulness.

PrimalHyal NeuroYouth principles of action

Beyond its function as a protective barrier, the skin constitutes a living sensory network. With age, the skin's nerve fibers diminish, becoming shorter and less functional, leading to reduced sensory perception, altered cellular communication and accelerated skin aging. This process has been highlighted by Givaudan Active Beauty's research and recognized as one of the scientific contributions of IFSCC 2025.

Clinical trial results

Clinical studies conducted on over 120 volunteers show that PrimalHyal NeuroYouth offers visible and measurable anti-aging benefits, including:

  • An apparent reduction in skin age of over 5 years
  • Visible reduction in wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improved dermal tension and skin firmness
  • Tactile perception restored for up to 30 years
  • A marked improvement in pleasant sensations.
What's more, PrimalHyal NeuroYouth reverses the neuro-aging pathway, enabling a +28 % increase in the number of nerve fibers and a +29 % increase in their length, thus strengthening neuronal communication pathways.

New EnSaLine hygienic mixers from Alfa Laval

site-industries-cosmetiques Stainless steel industrial mixer with electric motor attached to a long shaft and large propeller blades at the end, designed for mixing fluids or substances in industrial processes.

Alfa Laval recently introduced a new range of hygienic mixers, EnSaLine, designed to reduce energy consumption while simplifying maintenance for the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. These mixers promise significant energy savings and efficient maintenance with just one technician.

Alfa Laval's EnSaLine mixers are distinguished by a design that focuses particularly on energy efficiency. These devices can achieve energy savings of up to 80 %, a crucial issue in production environments where energy costs are constantly on the rise. What's more, the agitator structure is designed to deliver a return on investment generally observed in less than two years.

Optimizing energy consumption

The EnSaLine range features specially designed blades, known as EnSaFoil, which increase output compared with competing models. This not only reduces mixing times, but also maximizes operational productivity. This innovative design also ensures gentle product handling, preserving product quality while guaranteeing greater operational efficiency.

Fast, secure maintenance

One of the major challenges in industrial operations is equipment maintenance, which is often complex and can hinder production. With EnSaLine agitators, Alfa Laval addresses this issue by enabling maintenance to be carried out in less than 30 minutes, by a single technician, without the need to enter the tank. This not only enhances team safety, but also ensures continuity of operations. The design also includes a single cartridge for wear parts, minimizing the need for spare parts.

Predictive maintenance, integrated via Clariot sensors, further strengthens this approach by continuously monitoring operating conditions to prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Silab's Neolipyl wins silver at the PCHi Fountain Awards

site-industries-cosmetiques An abstract pink glass award with textured details rests on a black base labeled "PCH 2026 NEOLIPYL Slab" on an elegantly set round table with plates, utensils, glasses and a decorative fan in the background.

Neolipyl, a repairing active ingredient derived from cornflower, received second prize at the PCHi Fountain Awards, highlighting its effectiveness in treating lipid disorders in dry skin.

On March 18, 2026, Silab's new natural repairing active, Neolipyl, was honored at the PCHi Fountain Awards, coming second in the “Skin Barrier Repair” category. This active ingredient specifically targets lipid disorders in dry skin, and was recognized behind a solution from Chinese company Shenzhen Dieckmann Biotechnology Co. Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Chairman of the Management Board at Silab, explains: « We're delighted to receive this award, which recognizes all the work we've done to decipher the characteristics of dry skin and propose an appropriate solution. For the development of this active ingredient, we carried out an unprecedented modeling study, drawing on our dual expertise in omics technologies, notably through a lipidomic study, and in optical biopsies. This enabled us to establish for the first time the lipid signature of dry skin: the results show a weakening of the composition and structure of the lipid matrix. "

Features

Neolipyl has been extensively tested, and its moisturizing and smoothing effects are visible after just 14 days of application. By acting on both the composition and structure of the lipid matrix, this active ingredient helps rebalance the skin. What's more, when combined with retinol for normal skin, it attenuates the associated undesirable effects and reinforces its effectiveness. In short, it is a genuine lipid restructure agent, recommended for skin barrier care.

La Roche-Posay chooses Medicos for the expert combination of roll-on and dropper

site-industries-cosmetiques A blue bottle of La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum stands next to a dropper with a drop of liquid at the tip, on a dark blue background with a circular dotted pattern.

La Roche-Posay relies on the expertise of Medicos for the packaging of Hyalu B5 Anti-Wrinkle Eye Serum, a unique combination of dropper and roll-on, to meet the demands of targeted, precise application.

This solution is based on a PP roll-on pipette with stainless steel ball, complemented by a nitrile nipple, PP cap and PP carrying cap. The 15ml bottle is made of tinted molded glass.

The originality of the device lies in the functional combination of the dropper's precise dosage gesture and the roll-on's targeted application, adapted to the eye contour area.

On the industrial front, Medicos has taken up the challenge of automatic assembly of the stainless steel ball and dropper system, guaranteeing reliability, repeatability and production performance. With sustainability in mind, the PP, stainless steel and glass components are recyclable. The teat, currently made of nitrile, will soon be converted to a TPE that can be recycled in the PP process, while retaining the same functional and sensory properties.

The specific development of this product brings together two of Medicos' long-standing areas of expertise: dropper and roll-on solutions, both from well-known ready-to-use ranges.

The roll-on range is based on a PE ball holder, a glass or stainless steel ball, a PP or RPP cap, and a drawn glass bottle. Two standard ball diameters are available - D7.5 mm and D10 mm - corresponding to capacities of 5 to 10 ml and 10 to 20 ml respectively. Flow reducers can be integrated according to application requirements.

The dropper range includes a pipette in drawn glass or a specific pipette in PP, fitted with a nitrile, butyl or TPE nipple, and a smooth or ribbed cap in PP or RPP. Different pipette geometries and orifice diameters enable precise adaptation to cosmetic and dermocosmetic uses. These droppers can be combined in full service with drawn glass, molded glass or plastic bottles of varying capacities.

Tamper-evident rings for certain ferrules and PP pipette protectors complete the range. The diversity of diameters, lengths and capacities allows a wide range of combinations, enriched by numerous finishing options. Caps and bead holders can be colored in the mass; finishes such as lacquering, metallizing or the addition of aluminum caps are also available, as are decorative options such as hot stamping or engraving. The bottle can also be customized by silk-screen printing, hot stamping and/or lacquering.

Malva 1979, an Italian brand, has teamed up with Coverpla to develop the packaging for its collection of nine fragrances. This collaboration underlines their commitment to European quality and personalization.

The Italian brand Malva 1979 chose Coverpla for its global service, including the development of primary packaging for bottles and caps, as well as the creation of decorations. « We chose Coverpla as our partner, firstly because of its uniquely European signature, from the glass to the pumps to the hoods, and secondly because of its capacity for customization. »explains Malva Moncalvo.

An inspired collection of fragrances

Malva 1979 presents a collection of nine fragrances with evocative names such as Pied dans l'eau, Nude Essence and Amber Diary. Each of these creations expresses a dreamlike universe, using abstract shapes that emerge from dark backgrounds, creating a play of light and depth. Working in close collaboration with Coverpla, the brand has opted for the Trek 100 ml bottle lined with a gloss black Magnet aluminum cap.

For discovery formats, the 10 ml Pocket bottle has also been selected, with the name screen-printed on the bottle and the logo on the cap. All these elements are presented in an elegant case designed by craftsmen to last and be reused, testifying to the brand's commitment to quality manufacturing without pretense.

Hairmed at Cosmoprof 2026: capillary skinification

site-industries-cosmetiques Several colorful bottles and jars labeled with letters and numbers, such as B1, B5 and N7, are arranged on a light blue surface. The labels read "HAIRMED" and the containers have white caps.

Hairmed presents at Cosmoprof 2026 its innovative, scientific approach to hair skinification, a process that integrates the principles of advanced skincare with scalp health.

Hairmed unveils its approach based on hair skinification at Cosmoprof Worldwide in Bologna. Skinification is a concept that extends skin care techniques to the health of the scalp, which is central to healthy, radiant hair.

An approach based on the longevity of beauty

In line with the latest international trends in cosmetics, hair skinification is part of a broader framework of beauty longevity, aimed at maintaining the biological balance of the scalp. This preventive, systemic approach focuses on maintaining the skin's physiological functionality. « The culture of scalp well-being is at the heart of our philosophy »says Roberto Piazzolla, Hairmed's Managing Director. He emphasizes that « healthy, beautiful hair is the result of a balanced scalp ». The latter represents a complex ecosystem vulnerable to external factors, such as pollution and aggressive treatments, which can upset its balance.

The DBL protocol: a three-stage process

Hairmed applies the principles of capillary skinification via the DBL protocol, a professional process designed around dermocosmetics. This protocol includes :

- A pre-shampoo dermopurification to normalize the scalp and eliminate sebum, impurities and residues. - A specific shampoo, “Bagno eudermico”, which respects the physiological pH and preserves the balance of the skin microbiome. - A functional lotion with a high concentration of active ingredients, applied directly to the scalp to stimulate balancing mechanisms and maintain skin function.

This protocol aims to create optimal conditions for restoring balance to the scalp, while protecting the skin barrier and improving the bioavailability of active ingredients. As a result, the Hairmed routine doesn't just mask hair problems, but attacks the underlying causes for stronger, more resilient hair.

By integrating advanced technological tools such as photonic biostimulation, Hairmed reinforces its commitment to research and innovation. These solutions are accessible via artificial intelligence-based analysis tools, available via smartphone.

At Cosmoprof 2026, the brand will be offering personalized consultations and demonstrations of the DBL protocol and integrated technologies.

site-industries-cosmetiques Four skincare products from the Kerbi brand are presented on a red background. They are a spray, a fluid, a stick and a lip balm, all labeled SPF 50 Hydra Glow for sun protection.

Kerbi, a Breton brand of sun protection products, unveils an innovative new range that meets the expectations of consumers looking for effectiveness and naturalness. This line includes formulations that combine skin care and respect for the environment.

Kerbi, a young brand from Brittany, has a mission to make sun protection pleasant and accessible on a daily basis. In 2020, it set itself apart with its natural approach, developing dermatological formulas that incorporate up to 100 % of ingredients of natural origin. These products respond to the growing need to protect skin against UV rays while respecting the environment.

A committed and innovative approach

Kerbi products include patented dermatological active ingredients as well as ingredients of plant origin. Each formula is the result of a rigorous process of efficacy, tolerance and sensoriality testing. The company's policy is to launch a product only if it meets strict specifications, guaranteeing safety and efficacy. With the Hydra Glow range, Kerbi aims to offer options perfectly suited to the varied needs of consumers. These suncare products are the ideal alliance between suncare, skincare and make-up.

This line is distinguished by its four references, including Fluide Solaire SPF50. This product uses new-generation sun filters, offering reinforced UVA protection. The formulas, tested in marine environments, are non-toxic to the environment. « No risk of a greasy or white finish thanks to a combination of highly photostable filters »says a brand spokesperson, underlining the importance of sensoriality in their products.

Hydra Glow SPF50 Sun Care Fluid is positioned as a day care product that also offers high protection. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it provides long-lasting hydration while offering an anti-aging effect. The SPF50+ lip balm, an innovation in this range, is composed of shea butter and plant oils that give lips comfort and hydration.

Mineral products, such as Lait Solaire Minéral SPF50, guarantee chemical filter-free application, with a single mineral filter. This and other formulations are perfectly suited to sensitive skin, and can be used from the age of 6 months.

Kerbi also reinforces its ecological commitment by donating 1% of its profits to actions in favor of the oceans, and by using eco-designed packaging. « The brand is part of a clean beauty approach, combining respect for health and the environment. »concludes the spokesman.

Sun spray for scalp and hair

site-industries-cosmetiques A bottle of ISDIN FotoProtector Scalp & Hair Spray SPF 30 sits on a glass shelf on a blue background, with its clear plastic cap beside it.

Isdin extends its range with a sun protection spray dedicated to the scalp. Promising quick and easy application, this product aims to minimize sun and UV damage to scalp and hair.

Isdin, renowned for its “highly effective sun protection for the skin”, has recently launched a spray specifically designed for the scalp. The Spanish company, which has been on the market for over fifty years, has won recognition for its innovations, notably with its flagship product Fusion Water Magic, a tube of which is sold every four seconds. This new spray meets a growing need for sun protection for an often forgotten area: the scalp.

A solution tailored to specific needs

With the risk of sunburn at the crown of the head a concern, this product provides effective scalp protection, especially for those with blond, thinning hair, or suffering from alopecia. Applying sunscreen directly to the roots could prove uncomfortable, which is why Isdin offers a spray formula that provides greaseless protection.

Spray features include a dual phase: an aqueous phase for rapid absorption and an oily phase to nourish the skin and maintain the cutaneous barrier. This formulation facilitates immediate penetration without leaving a sticky residue. What's more, the silica in the composition enhances the dispersion of UV filters, reinforcing the product's water resistance. Isdin thus offers an effective means of preventing damage caused by UV radiation, which contributes to capillary degradation, linked in particular to blue light.

With this launch, Isdin aims to raise awareness of the importance of protecting not only the skin, but also the scalp and hair from sun damage.
